you remember kyiv acknowledging any strikes, especially not on moscow, be it with drones or with missiles, but what's interesting is on the russian part, there was word that ukraine could not have done that without help of the united states. we see once again moscow is trying to ignite the debate, tried to provoke washington to reacting to what is happening, trying to grow that conflict even more so on the international stage. mark: indeed. one does wonder if they version put forth by moscow is anywhere near the truth. thank you very much indeed. move on, tension and turmoil in the middle east, the fallout from an attack on a refugee
